Beavers Dump Ducks Twice Dorwood Cecil Paces 10 to 6 OSC Triumph By Art Litehman * Co-SpmtS Editor CORVALLIS, May 20—(Special) —Oregon State’s second place Bea vers remained in the thick of the 1946 Northern Division baseball pennant race here today by turn ing back the Oregon Ducks for the second straight time, 10 to 6. The Beavers now have nine wins and five losses and the Webfoots remain one game in front with 10 •victories and four defeats. The two teams meet again Friday at Eu gene in the third game of the cru cial series. Oregon needs one triumph to win its fourth straight flag and the Beavers need two more wins to capture the title. It was a case of too much of the Cecil family and two critical errors today. First-saeker Dorwood Cecil Masted out a homer and two singles in four trips to the plate, drove in four runs and 1 scored three more. Don Cecil, his cousin, scattered nine VVeb • foot hits and would have had a shutout but for some sloppy play in left field, an error and his own wild pitch. In addition to running wild with bis bat, Cecil turned in a flawless game at the initial sack. His big "butterfly net" pulled in four wild throws to save his mates in the infield from being charged with errors. Oregon failed to get a hit until the fourth and then singles by Lo zoski and Tony Crish failed to pro duce any tallies. Oregon shifted its infield today and Bass Dyer took over the hot corner and Walt Lozoski moved to shortstop. Lozoski turned in the best game of the day for the Web foots, handling six chances with out a bobble. Oregon state opened its at tack in the second inning when Homer ltropst played Harry Schultz.e’s bounder, too slowly and it went for scratch single. Dorwood Cecil followed with a 865-foot drive over the center field fence for two runs. The Beavers scored six more in the third. Don Cecil opened with a .single and Dick Kohler was cred ited with another infield single when Spike Johnson couldn’t do anything with his bunt. Don Bower bunted and all hands were safe v. hen Dick Rodiger’s throw pulled Dyer off third. Harry Richards bounced to Dyer and two runs scored when he hit Don Cecil in the back, with his throw to the plate. I.ou Wegner walked and Dorwood Cecil singled to cen ter for another pair of tallies. Wegner went to third on the hit and when Cecil attempted to steal second he came home to score under Johnson's throw to Itodiger. Dick Lehl then replaced Bropst ..d Jack Schimol greeted him with mother run-producing single. A walk, Dorwood Cecil's third straight hit, Santee's juggle of the ball in left and Carl Gustafson’s single accounted for two more runs in the fifth. Box score: The Ducks picked up a pair in the fifth when Jim Norveli doubled and scored when Jack Schimel let Dorwood Cecil’s throw after Kodiger popped to him in short right field. • Walt KirscTi singled and Lozoski Oregon JVs Play SOCE Here Today The Webfoot junior varsity base ball team goes back into action this afternoon at 3 p. m. when they play hosts to the Southern Oregon College of Education nine on Howe field.

After the meet, and prior to head ing back to Eugene, the team will partake of a big steak “on Ore gon,” Bill informed his cipder men. Officials at Seattle have not re ported whether there will be pre liminaries to the finals in the meet or not, and Hayward has had to do some juggling of the team due to this uncertainty. Attired in their “fancy dan” track meet clothes, the cinder squad posed for Photog Warren Teter yesterday afternoon and were photographed for the 1947 Oregana. Several members of the team were missing as they had not received word of the intended picture taking. Complete lists of the men and their events that will travel to Seattle Friday will be in tomor row’s Emerald.

Saltzman Loses - First Game As Errors Costly By Tommy Wright Co-Sports Editor Ralph Coleman’s determined Ore gon State college Beavers put a crimp into Oregon’s bid to sew up the Northern Division title here Saturday by handing the Web foots their third loss of the season, 4-3. Chuck Sauvain, freshman south paw hurler from Woodburn, held the hard-hitting Ducks to six hits, three of which were infield singles, to keep the Orangemen in the run ning for the conference crown. Hal Saltzman, who boasted a perfect record on the mound Oregon with six wins and no loss es for the season, definitely wasn’t at his best. He gave up nine hits, walked two, hit two batters and threw one wild pitch in going the route for the Webfoots, and taking his first loss. The Webfoots looked good for their usual ninth inning comeback, but the rally was halted when A1 Cohen, who had gone in as a pinch hitter for Jim Norvel, was trapped off third for the final out.
